Anyone have any cool pocket watches or presentation pieces?
I just saw someone post an awesome Zach Wheat pocket watch in the "Favorite Pickup of 2016" thread and it got me wondering if anyone else here has anything like this?
I absolutely love seeing old pocket watches and jewelry that once belonged to players, as well as other presentation pieces because they're so unique. I'd love to see some of this stuff if you guys have it! |

Vandy presentational piece
I don't own a Vandy watch, although he was given one by his hometown of Midland Park, NJ following his 1st of 2 consecutive no-hitters in 1938.
I do ironically have a photo of him receiving the watch on the field prior to the game played on June 15, 1938 at Ebbets Field. Oh yeah, that was also the 1st Night Game ever played at Ebbets and he pitched his 2nd no-hitter that day... Here is a bejeweled tie clasp/pin that he received after winning the 1940 NL Championship. Unfortunately I don't own this piece, but I have seen it in a private collection. Vandy was the winning pitcher and drove in two runs with a double in the NL clincher.

Not a pocket watch but a watch to Zach Wheat from Joe DiMaggio.

St. Paul fighter Jimmy Delaney won this at a California boxing tournament (beating Willie Meehan). He sadly passed of blood poisoning at the age of 26 with a record of 37-9-7. He fought Harry Greb 3 times, Gene Tunney twice, and Tommy Loughran twice.

And a watch fob presented to St. Paul Saints manager Mike Kelley for winning the 1919, 1920, and 1922 American Association pennants.

Fantastic pieces guys!
Out of curiosity, what year did DiMaggio give this watch to Wheat? |

I'm not sure. The watch is an Impala. If you look up Joe DiMaggio Impala watch you can find some that have sold. Looks like late 40's to early 50's. One to Stengel sold for $3750 in 2007.

I wonder if this trophy is still around. This kid, Edwin Marshall, wins an essay contest and is pictured on his way to deliver a trophy to Walter Johnson on opening day 1926. He saw one heck of a game!
